  1. Insulate the Floor Above Your Garage

Believe it or not, your home can lose a ton of heat through the ceiling above your garage. The simple act of insulating can help reduce energy costs and keep your home warmer during the winter and cooler in the summer months.

  1. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient HVAC Unit

Modern AC units offer a wide range of advantages. They are much more energy-efficient, helping to reduce energy costs. They also manage the temperature inside your home more efficiently and will last longer than older units.

  1. Solar Hot Water Heater

Most homes have conventional water heaters that use natural gas or electricity. Switching to a solar hot water heater takes advantage of the sun’s heat to heat your home rather than wasting those other forms of energy which are much more expensive.

Solar can also save you up to 80 percent on your monthly water heating bill.

  1. Install Rain Collection Barrels

Do you get tired of the high cost of water your lawn or garden? If so, rain collection barrels are the ideal solution. Simply place them at the downspout of your water gutter so that they can fill with rainwater to be reused for irrigation purposes.

  1. Install a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat is an ideal way to manage the temperature inside your home. These devices allow you to simply set it at the desired inside temperatures throughout the day and then forget about it.

  1. Install Solar Panels

Electricity is expensive. Solar is free. That’s the simple reality of why installing solar panels on your home is such a smart investment.

  1. Invest in Home Energy Management Technology

Managing energy usage in your home doesn’t have to be complicated. The key is to invest in a home energy monitor that will keep all the technology you need for reducing energy costs at your fingertips.

  1. Use Smart Power Strips

Smart power strips are great for powering all your devices, including your TV, lamps, and gaming systems. These are power strips that fully eliminate energy vampires from needlessly wasting electricity in your home.

  1. Backyard Wind Turbines

Have you considered installing backyard wind turbines? If so, that’s a great idea!

After all, wind turbines are the ideal way to transform wind into energy that can be used for your home.

  1. Dual Flush Toilets

You might be surprised by the amount of water that’s wasted every time you flush a toilet in your home. Dual flush toilets can actually save up to 27% on your water bill by reducing the amount of water used during each flush.
